<p>Hello, my girlfriend needs to choose between Davis and Syracuse and she likes so many different qualities about both schools that she just can't make a decision. She decided that whichever school is better for her major will be the one she will attend. Her major is Classics. Does anyone know which school has a better Classics department? I've been looking for rankings but can't find any. Thank you!</p>
<p>[NRC</a> Rankings in Classics](<a href=“http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~jnewton/nrc_rankings/area2.html]NRC”>http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~jnewton/nrc_rankings/area2.html)</p>
<p>Neither university appears on that list, but at Davis should could take classes at Cal or UCLA for a semester or quarter. All UC students have that option Not only that but Davis has its own department whereas Syracuse stuffs classics in the Languages department. </p>

<p>[Classics</a> Program](<a href=“http://classics.ucdavis.edu/content/people]Classics”>http://classics.ucdavis.edu/content/people)</p>
<p>Davis also has three times as many people in their department 6-2 faculty-wise.</p>
<p>And Davis is ranked a bit higher. </p>
<p>UC Davis IMHO</p>
<p>Thank you for your quick response!</p>
<p>You’re welcome 
I happened to be online. Best of Luck to your GF and tell her to look into the option to spend a quarter or semester at one of the other UC’s during a quarter when they have good Classics classes. She could even email the professors on the other campuses.</p>
<p>I would say go to Syracuse…do you know what she wants to do and where she wants to live..i’s kind of a west coast east coast thing</p>
